Abstract

The water quality of the river Elbe near Magdeburg represents the pollution situation of the middle course of the river Elbe under normal discharge conditions. In order to identify critical changes in the water quality caused by the century flood in August 2002, numerous measurement programs were launched accompanying the flood wave. This paper compares and discusses results based on different sampling strategies and analytical methods of three institutions mainly using the example of trace metals.
